Amazon Prime Day 2026 is offering significant discounts on televisions just in time for the FIFA World Cup, with England's first game set for this evening. Research from Adobe predicts a surge in spending on streaming devices (up 65%), projectors (60%), and TVs (45%) compared to the previous month. Vivek Pandya, director of Adobe Digital Insights, noted: "Prime Day has always been a major spending moment for consumers, both for big-ticket items and everyday essentials. With the World Cup running at the same time, many shoppers will have deferred their pre-tournament purchases for a few weeks to take advantage of the deep Prime Day discounts."
Expert Tips for Buying a World Cup TV
Technology critic David Phelan shared advice for selecting a TV for the tournament. He emphasised the importance of 4K resolution even on smaller screens, good motion handling to avoid blur during fast-paced action, and considering OLED versus LED brightness. He recommended anti-reflective features for afternoon games in June, such as Samsung's matte filter, and highlighted audio enhancements like Panasonic and Samsung's sports modes that boost crowd noise. Phelan concluded: "When it comes to watching sport, size is everything."
